Probably end up as a Co-op supermarket, that is the trend by us nowadays!

I think that was the same time some feral local youths tried to rob my phone and wallet before being chased off. Classy place.

You are almost correct. Not a restaurant more of a Big John type of place with spice!

Good question.  I have been wondering for two seasons. It looks to have been converted into flats upstairs, so a shop or maybe restaurant downstairs is probably a good shout, especially given the area it is in.

There are very few Chinese in West Brom but we've got some Chinese takeaways.

The chap who owns/owned the Edward is doing it up as a pub. That's what one of those lovely barmaids said towards the end of last season.
